I have a choice between AIIMS Raipur and Seth GSMC Mumbai for MBBS which one would be better considering the future post-graduation?
It is widely held that the Mumbai work structure is extremely beneficial and makes you more confident and open.
GSMC has a bond, so you must work for a year after graduation, whereas AIIMS does not have a bond. As one of the most prominent leading institutes in Maharashtra, GSMC has excellent technical infrastructure. It has a higher patient flow, which is very important. It also has more advanced clinical departments. The faculty is an incredible and enthusiastic supporter. It is affiliated with other BMC colleges, giving you more opportunities, and it is also affiliated with prestigious institutions such as Tata Memorial and Wadia Hospital.
AIIMS Raipur is a good choice because of the AIIMS brand, infrastructure, and smaller batch size, but GSMC is still suggested.
What 10 things would you tell a student who is about to start MBBS from KGMU?
Here are 10 things I would tell a student who is about to start MBBS from KGMU-
- It is an excellent college which will help you become a skilled medical professional.
- Stay away from caste based politics. Do not attend caste and category based meets. Be liberal and respect all your colleagues, regardless of their caste/region/religion.
- Do attend OPDs, clinical posting and present cases. This will provide you with a lot of experience.
- Non vegetarians have much more food options than vegetarians. But even as a vegetarian, you will get good meals.
- Do visit Hazratganj. Sitting on a bench in the evenings and watching passersby is the best thing to do there.
- Explore the sports room, gym and library of Sardar Patel Hostel. Chakraborty hostel has a nice swimming pool.
- Lucknow is an amazing city, do explore it.
- Start your PG entrance preparation early on. The state of UPPG exams is bad, but don’t lose hope, you still have a good chance elsewhere.
- Studies must be your first priority.
Remember all these things, study well, and make the most of your stay at KGMU.
What if I am rejected at the medical fitness test at AIIMS Raipur during admissions for an MBBS?
AIIMS Raipur Admission for the MBBS program is based on merit in NEET UG followed by counselling. On selection, candidates must appear for a general medical fitness test conducted by the institute. The medical fitness test is conducted for all medical aspirants to ensure that they do not have any underlying medical conditions that might be an issue during training or affect patients in any way.
In case, students have any serious medical conditions such as progressive immunodeficiency or Autoimmune Disorders that might affect both medical candidates and patients, AIIMS will create a medical board consisting of senior faculties who are well-experienced from various departments. The case will be discussed from all perspectives and a fair decision will be made. Candidates are advised not to be anxious or lose hope. The medical board will decide on careful evaluation.
Which college should I prefer: KMC, Manipal or HIMS, Dehradun for MBBS?
Without any second thoughts, choose KMC Manipal over HIMS Dehradun. Joining a private college is not considered very wise but it’s not in the case of KMC because
- Its crowd quality is exceptionally good. It's an old college.
- It’s one of the oldest private medical colleges and most Govt Colleges so it has come to establish a reputation of its own.
- It’s the only private medical college that has churned out so many generations of successful doctors.
- It offers excellent medical education and its fees are comparatively less than other private colleges.
- The institute boasts of a well-equipped sports complex called MARENA.
- An amazing campus life with enough exposure to extracurricular activities.
- The Manipal campus is extremely beautiful and offers a good academic ambiance.
Overall, the opportunities this college has to offer make it an excellent choice.
Is CMC, Vellore India's lowest fee for an MBBS college?
No, CMC Vellore is not the college charging the lowest fees for an MBBS course. There are several other government medical colleges charging very low fees. Even AIIMS charges lower fees than CMC Vellore. Here is a list of colleges charges low fees for MBBS in India
- Christian Medical College
- Armed Forces Medical College Pune
- M. S. Ramaiah Medical College
- Dayanand Medical College and Hospital
- Maulana Azad Medical College
- Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College
- Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha
- Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences
- Terna Medical College
- Topiwala National
However, it’s true that it charges the lowest fees for MBBS among the private colleges.
Which is better to join for an MBBS, GMC Patiala, GMC Mumbai, Seth GS Medical College, KGMU, or GMCH Chandigarh?
Based on the opinions within the medical community, I will provide some information on these colleges-
- GSMC- It is a highly renowned college. High rankers in UG and PG entrance choose it for pursuing their medical studies. Clinical teaching is very good over here.
- Grant Medical College Mumbai- It is one of the top 10 medical colleges of India. But its fees have skyrocketed recently. The campus is not in a good shape too. However, this college is one of the only 5 colleges whose degrees are approved in Singapore. So if you plan to pursue your PG abroad, a degree from GMC Mumbai will open the doors of Singapore for you.
- KGMU- It is one of the best medical colleges in North India, and especially UP. It is well reputed, and the campus is really good. The infrastructure is top notch, better than most government colleges. The teachers are decent, and the students are hardworking. You’ll get a good clinical exposure over here. For an outsider though, adjusting to the UP culture might be a little difficult at first.
I don’t know much about GMC Patiala and GMCH Chandigarh, so I won’t comment on these two.
Make sure to choose a college with hardworking students. Good company will motivate you to study harder and excel in your field. Food and language barriers aren’t much of a problem in the long run.
Can I get into the CMC Ludhiana MBBS with a rank of 257?
Yes, you can easily get into CMC Ludhiana with AIR 257. In fact, with such a good rank, you can get into any top 10 medical colleges in India. I fail to understand why you are considering CMC Ludhiana as your only option unless you are a local of Punjab and dont want to move away from home.
CMC Ludhiana is one of the best medical colleges in the country but unfortunately, it has only 13 seats for non-Christians and also charges fees higher than government colleges.
However, there isn't any guarantee of admission even with this rank because the counseling is conducted by a state health university and Punjab gives preference to its own resident students. You will be considered only If seats are left vacant in the third or extended second counseling.
